Vapour Trails Lyrics by The Tragically Hip

Vapour Trails Lyrics

    Titillations been replaced by Interstate brickface and Coffee-Mate
    And by a list of phone calls you'd like to make
    Where you could sit on the edge of your bed
    And you could stare into your own shoes
    And in the pools of light there
    Go wherever you choose

    Just rig up a complication and if it derails
    You can throw away the rudder and float away like vapour trails

    There's nothing funnier than pride in an utterly confident stride
    So I pulled the car on over to give you a ride
    Damn this sleepy weather he said
    As he marched in sopping wet shoes
    Through rainpools evaporating
    Says in this sign I'll conquer you

    I pulled the car on over to give you a ride
    But there's nothing uglier than a man hitting his stride
    (now the morning's over light wind blows)
    Past Mexicans all dressed in beige shirts
    Leaving over their hoes
    Now the morning's over
    It's time to let them sprinklers hose

    Past hills of chambermaid's dark bare arms
    And fields of muscles quilted to the bone
    Right now I'm flying over
    Yea right now I'm flying home
    Where I can sit on the end of my bed
    And I can stare into my own shoes
    And in the pools of light years
    Go wherever I choose

    And throw away the rudder float away on vapour trails
    I rigged up a complication totally derailed
    So I throw away the rudder float away like vapour trails
    I pulled the car on over
    (it's time to let them sprinklers hose)

    Throw away the rudder
    Float away on a vapour trail
